Armed forces in Yemen [00:00:58] linked to the Zarola movement carried out a large-scale [00:01:02] operation using dozens [00:01:05] West Asia, well, of ballistic missiles and drones against a significant military air base in [00:01:09] southwestern Saudi Arabia, significantly escalating [00:01:12] the cross-border conflict that continues [00:01:15] to expand. The action was executed in retaliation [00:01:19] for what Anzarola described as an intensification of the Saudi [00:01:22] air campaign throughout Yemen, denouncing that Saudi [00:01:28] and the fighter jets had carried out more than 300 bombings [00:01:30] over several Yemeni provinces in recent days. The [00:01:33] movement warned that the Houthis will continue to launch [00:01:37] attacks deep inside Saudi territory as [00:01:40] long as the aggressions continue. The intensification of the conflict marks [00:01:43] the definitive break of the fragile ceasefire that had been maintained [00:01:48] fundamental in since 2022. participating, we are very attentive to what Yansarolá will deepen [00:01:52] way or another from its intensity in the territory of the Saudi kingdom while the [00:01:55] bombings, military aggression, and [00:02:04] to participate in the survey that we have published with the question [00:02:07] of the day regarding all this [00:02:10] situation that has to do precisely with what [00:02:14] some analysts have described [00:02:17] around this issue of Houthi resistance in [00:02:20] Yemen that vindicates sovereign operations against the wave of [00:02:23] aggression from Saudi Arabia. What is the advance of Anzarola [00:03:03] is happening, of course, an [00:03:06] important advance in terms of [00:03:10] the operations in Yemen, the Houthis, in a way that [00:03:14] disrupt this, because the continues to be part of the analysis, right? For some international analysts, [00:03:18] it is said that this has been, [00:03:22] let's say, a new way to [00:03:25] the port cities in the Red redraw the strategic map in the Red Sea. What do you say about [00:03:26] that? [00:03:30] It is important that the audience always has [00:03:32] an understanding of the context and the totality, not just [00:03:36] a specific moment [00:03:39] the West, which is today and one part of the problem. We must [00:03:42] keep in mind that since 2015 [00:03:44] Saudi Arabia has maintained a [00:03:48] fierce blockade whose objective is to starve [00:03:51] the Yemeni population, mainly women, [00:03:55] children, and girls. [00:03:58] It is not the reaction of Ansarullah [00:04:02] or the Houthis to an air [00:04:05] attack that has occurred criminally in recent [00:04:09] days, but rather it is the [00:04:11] reaction, the result of the accumulation [00:04:15] of a number of contradictions [00:04:18] which we know the economic that have occurred over these 12 years [00:04:21] and that have to do with the economic blockade, [00:04:25] situation, it is solely and fundamentally with the situation of maintaining permanent attacks [00:04:28] against the area controlled by the [00:04:32] Houthis by Saudi Arabia and [00:04:35] finally, which is one of the fundamental points, [00:04:38] also the role that Saudi Arabia plays [00:04:43] regions of Yemen. Brigadier in favor of the criminal Zionist entity of Israel and the [00:04:45] United States, not only to attack the Palestinian people [00:04:49] but to attack Lebanon, to attack Syria and [00:04:53] to attack mainly also in [00:04:57] recent months the Islamic Republic of [00:05:00] Iran. All these contradictions add up [00:05:03] and that is what leads the Houthis [00:05:06] Ansarullah to carry out strong attacks, [00:05:10] forceful attacks against Saudi [00:05:13] Arabia, which presents itself to the world as a [00:05:17] military power and that in terms that the [00:05:21] leader of China Mao Zedong once [00:05:24] used, it is nothing more than a paper [00:05:27] tiger, and the Yemeni [00:05:30] fighters, the Houthi fighters have demonstrated, [00:05:33] even in the most difficult conditions of their own [00:05:37] existence, to have the courage and morale to fight, but [00:05:41] also not only that, but also the intelligence and [00:05:44] strategic, technological capacity, because Yemeni-made [00:05:48] missiles and drones have been used [00:05:50] by the Houthis, yes, to [00:05:54] hit the economic and military interests of [00:05:57] Saudi Arabia in areas that are [00:06:01] very, very fundamental for [00:06:04] this nation that has [00:06:07] become a nation at the service of the axis of [00:06:10] the arrogant evil. Yes, and you were commenting [00:06:14] on those economic and political interests of [00:06:17] Saudi Arabia, but also of the West, right? You also spoke [00:06:21] of, let's say, a more general spectrum [00:06:25] regarding what is at stake in West Asia, [00:06:28] taking into account what is happening in Iran, what is happening in [00:06:32] Palestine and of course Yemen always playing a very [00:06:36] important role in all of this. How is this situation in [00:06:39] Yemen affecting those Western interests? [00:06:44] Well, we have to use these spaces to recognize [00:06:48] those worthy peoples who have risen [00:06:51] to confront these arrogant forces of [00:06:54] evil, the United States, the criminal Zionist entity of [00:06:58] Israel, and also, as we will see, [00:07:01] the intervention that occurs in one [00:07:04] the old fox that I always repeat here in this [00:07:07] space, which is England, Great [00:07:10] Britain, because [00:07:12] Saudi Arabia has asked for help from both Israel and [00:07:16] England and the United States to stop the [00:07:20] attacks carried out by Ansarullah and the [00:07:23] Houthis, the Yemeni people, attacks [00:07:27] that are just because it is a reaction against [00:07:30] all that criminal policy that Saudi Arabia has [00:07:33] carried out. We must keep in mind that Saudi Arabia [00:07:37] maintains a close relationship with the criminal [00:07:40] Zionist entity of Israel. [00:07:43] Since 2020, there have been permanent visits [00:07:46] by high-ranking officials of the Mossad [00:07:50] and high-ranking officials of the Israeli [00:07:53] regime from Israel to Saudi [00:07:57] contacts and military [00:08:00] activities, intelligence activities, for what? Precisely [00:08:04] to carry out attacks against the Yemeni [00:08:07] resistance or to also carry out attacks [00:08:10] against countries like Lebanon [00:08:14] or Iran. So the attacks that are being [00:08:18] carried out, which are legitimate by [00:08:21] Yemen against Saudi Arabia, are going to completely [00:08:27] moment the Yemenis take [00:08:30] control of some port cities that [00:08:33] are adjacent to the Red Sea and that [00:08:37] also allow control of the [00:08:40] Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, it will be [00:08:43] big. So that will mean a blow not [00:08:47] only economic, but a political, strategic, [00:08:50] military blow against Saudi Arabia, but not only [00:08:54] against Saudi Arabia, but against the United States and fundamentally, [00:08:58] fundamentally against the criminal Zionist entity of Israel. [00:09:01] So this is fundamental and that is why we must [00:09:05] support what these fighters are doing at this moment, [00:09:09] who even without military boots, [00:09:12] barefoot or barely covered [00:09:16] with rags on their feet, [00:09:19] are fighting against those mercenaries, mercenaries [00:09:23] that Saudi Arabia enables through millions [00:09:26] of dollars, millions of money [00:09:29] that is given to these forces to fight the Houthis, to [00:09:33] fight Ansarullah. [00:09:36] Yes, let's see some other data regarding this [00:09:39] whole scenario. The spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed [00:09:42] Forces, Brigadier General Sari, reported [00:09:46] that 129 attacks by the Saudi Air Force occurred [00:09:49] in less than 48 hours after recent [00:09:52] bombings in various [00:09:55] General reported that American F15 aircraft and British Typhoons [00:09:59] departed from Saudi air bases to [00:10:03] attack very important Yemeni provinces. A Yemeni [00:10:06] spokesperson, Raldin Amer, also warned that if there is an escalation, [00:10:10] they will attack oil infrastructure to paralyze [00:10:14] the scarce amount of Saudi oil that is being exported through the Suez [00:10:17] Canal. In recent months, these contact zones between Yemeni forces and [00:10:20] mercenaries linked to the government backed by Riyadh in Aden in the [00:10:24] south of Yemeni territory have been a constant scenario of [00:10:28] drone attacks and, according to reports, local [00:10:31] information indicates that both sides are preparing for the imminent [00:10:34] large-scale military offensive, and I ask you this [00:10:38] because Ansarullah has already commented, Dax, [00:10:41] Saudi Arabia will have no security as long as the aggression [00:10:45] continues. If the enemy believes that after 300 [00:10:49] attacks, it believes that there will be a safe and [00:10:52] stable situation, it lives in an illusion on the part of [00:10:55] Saudi Arabia. What do you expect, what do you expect then regarding [00:10:59] this situation? [00:11:01] Well, the name of the operation carried out by Ansarullah [00:11:05] and the Houthis, who are the ones [00:11:10] movement against the arrogant forces of evil, is [00:11:14] Allah is more powerful and [00:11:17] punishing, which means that [00:11:20] just like in other places where [00:11:24] resistance remains firm [00:11:27] against the attacks of these genocidal criminals, both [00:11:30] from Israel and the United States, it will not [00:11:33] stop. We are seeing what is happening in [00:11:37] Lebanon, we are seeing what is happening in Palestine, and we are seeing that [00:11:41] firmness that the Iranian people have to confront [00:11:44] precisely these arrogant forces of evil. That same thing [00:11:47] characterizes the Yemeni people, the Houthis, [00:11:51] the firmness decision to go to the end [00:11:55] against an aggressor. The Quran says, [00:11:58] "He who aggresses against you must also [00:12:02] be answered with a response to the [00:12:04] aggressor, and a forceful response." And let's [00:12:08] remember that the issue of martyrdom, which is [00:12:13] what religion means in Muslim [00:12:16] peoples, especially Shiites, [00:12:18] means that death is not an [00:12:22] obstacle to confronting these forces of evil, [00:12:26] but rather it is an honor, because we will fight until the [00:12:30] end to precisely stop this injustice that [00:12:33] this people is subjected to. But it is not only the Yemeni people, it [00:12:37] is a struggle that must be recognized that Yemen has carried [00:12:40] out from October 2023 to [00:12:44] the present date, in defense of the Palestinian people, in defense [00:12:48] of the axis of resistance, and that has allowed [00:12:52] not only the military part to be strengthened, [00:12:56] but also its ethics, its [00:12:59] morale, its prestige at an international level with the [00:13:02] peoples who are in resistance. The blows have been forceful and that [00:13:06] demonstrates the capacity, I insist, also [00:13:09] technological, the strategic military [00:13:12] capacity of the Yemenis, of the Houthis, because at an [00:13:15] international level, the media describe them as savages, [00:13:19] terrorists, criminals, and they do not understand that it is a people that has a [00:13:23] millennia-old history and that today that people has developed [00:13:27] a military capacity to be able to strike, for example, [00:13:30] the 1200 km east-west oil [00:13:33] pipeline through which Saudi [00:13:37] Arabia is giving a respite to Western [00:13:41] powers, fundamentally to the United States, to extract [00:13:44] oil from the Persian Gulf to one of [00:13:50] Sea. If the Houthis Ansarullah manage [00:13:53] to control all of that, then that situation will [00:13:56] not only be to the detriment of Saudi Arabia, [00:14:00] but also to the interests of [00:14:04] trapped in the Strait of Hormuz, [00:14:07] despite Trump saying that he has control of that [00:14:10] strait when he has absolutely [00:14:13] no control. That's the situation. We'll be very attentive to what [00:14:35] we published about the topic and everything related to [00:14:39] this Ansarullah movement in Yemen against [00:14:42] Saudi Arabia. At the end, we will [00:15:15] The struggle for the emancipation of Central America lasted for [00:15:18] almost a decade. The process began with the first [00:15:22] uprising in El Salvador on November 5, [00:15:25] 1811, and culminated on September 15, [00:15:29] 1821, when Guatemala, [00:15:32] Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua [00:15:35] signed the act of independence. [00:15:47] September 15, 1821, Central America Independence Day. [00:15:49] 21 years of uninterrupted [00:15:55] information. [00:15:57] Teleesures, [00:16:00] resilience, [00:16:02] perseverance. [00:16:05] Solidarity, [00:16:08] identity, [00:16:11] dedication, vocation. [00:16:15] Telesur [00:16:18] 21st [00:16:20] anniversary. [00:16:22] We are a more human vision of the news. [00:16:25] Telesur, the voice of the [00:16:27] peoples. [00:17:10] expanded their territorial control over the western [00:17:13] coast of Yemen after advancing on the strategic [00:17:16] port city of Moca and subsequently taking Mayun Island, located [00:17:20] in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a strategic [00:17:22] passage. The offensive represents one of the [00:17:26] biggest advances of the movement since the 2022 [00:17:29] ceasefire and somewhat modifies the military balance in an [00:17:33] area considered key for international navigation. Moca constitutes [00:17:37] a strategic point due to its location facing the Red Sea, while [00:17:41] Mayun divides the two main channels of Bab-el-Mandeb, [00:17:45] strengthening the Houthi position on this maritime route that connects the [00:17:48] Indian Ocean with the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. [00:17:52] The advance comes as forces loyal to the internationally [00:17:56] recognized government were deployed south and Saudi Arabia [00:18:00] intensified its air attacks. The expansion also [00:18:03] increases pressure on trade and international energy routes. [00:18:07] This is due to the fact that it is an alternative route to the [00:18:10] Strait of Hormuz, which is currently closed, let's remember, due to the [00:18:14] conflict, due to the war that the United States and Israel are waging against [00:18:17] Iran. Let's go immediately to the analysis. Eduardo Menéces joins me [00:18:35] opportune regarding this whole situation, [00:18:39] what we have seen of the Houthi [00:18:43] counteroffensive in Yemen against Saudi Arabia [00:18:46] is redrawing a bit the strategy [00:18:49] in, let's say, in West Asia and what [00:18:52] this implies for the West and its [00:18:55] interests. [00:18:58] Well, I think you have already mentioned several of the central [00:19:01] points. We know that at this moment the dispute, the [00:19:05] war that the United States and Israel have [00:19:09] launched against the Iranian people [00:19:12] has put a large part of the global economy at [00:19:16] stake regarding the almost total [00:19:18] decrease or a large part of the [00:19:22] circulation through the Strait of Hormuz, which indeed has a global [00:19:25] impact not only because of the oil itself, but because of the entire [00:19:29] oil production chain in terms of food, for example, in [00:19:32] terms of inputs for agriculture, in [00:19:36] terms of the simple cost of transportation. We know that there is a critical [00:19:40] geopolitical point there, which, as we have said, [00:19:43] and as you said, the Bab-el-Mandeb [00:19:47] Strait intends to become an alternative [00:19:50] point to try to relieve some of the pressure that [00:19:54] Iran has managed to put on this point. Here there is something [00:19:57] fundamental to emphasize: if we have reached this [00:20:02] entirely due to the imperialist US [00:20:06] policy, in which, faced with a multipolar world that challenges [00:20:10] its hegemony, it simply tries to impose its interests by military [00:20:13] force. Here it is also necessary to emphasize [00:20:17] that the response, whether the Iranian response or the Houthi [00:20:20] response in Yemen, is nothing [00:20:23] more than a response to the imperialist, [00:20:26] US-Israeli aggression in the region, [00:20:30] through the same tools, that is, through an armed defense [00:20:34] of their interests. In any armed geopolitical [00:20:37] dispute like this, the critical points are what will [00:20:41] decide the bargaining power that peoples have here. [00:20:44] When I talk about negotiation, we know perfectly well that neither [00:20:48] Iran nor Yemen will stop until the genocide in Palestine [00:20:52] ceases, until the murderous interference [00:20:55] that the United States has in the entire region ceases, and they are in [00:20:59] a way in their total and legitimate right to [00:21:02] use the tools they have in the field that the United [00:21:06] States has created, which is the field of war, to defend this sovereignty. [00:21:09] In that sense, the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb is exactly [00:21:13] that, it is about strengthening the dispute that is [00:21:17] taking place in the Strait of Hormuz to avoid this type of [00:21:20] aggression and totally unidirectional [00:21:24] measures on the part of the United [00:21:27] States in trying to impose its interests, and it has [00:21:30] exactly the same dynamic, and we have seen it in recent [00:21:34] days, the Houthis continue to advance [00:21:37] also with a logic of war that is an asymmetric logic [00:21:40] against Saudi Arabia, which has [00:21:44] a series of military elements, F15 [00:21:47] planes, a series of missiles [00:21:50] that are extremely expensive, where each day of war costs [00:21:54] Saudi Arabia extremely dearly. These days there have been [00:21:58] 300 bombings in 5 days, while Yemen manages [00:22:01] to respond militarily with a much less costly war and that in the [00:22:05] long term in this scenario has no [00:22:08] other scenario than a victory for this axis of [00:22:11] resistance, no. Yes, undoubtedly, and taking into [00:22:15] account oil prices, Eduardo, they reached [00:22:17] $110 at the close of this day, and well, what [00:22:21] may also [00:22:24] arise in the short to medium term in international [00:22:27] markets. [00:22:30] Yes, here we must be very clear that the fact [00:22:32] that on the one hand there are two important [00:22:36] junctures, there is the electoral juncture of the United [00:22:40] States, in which the United States is trapped [00:22:43] in a contradiction of on the one hand [00:22:46] trying to make Donald Trump appear [00:22:50] before the upcoming midterm elections in the United States, trying [00:22:53] to appear as the strong man, who can subdue [00:22:57] both Iran or the Houthis, or, let's say, impose US [00:23:01] interests in the region, which militarily he has clearly [00:23:04] not achieved unless there is some change that we have [00:23:07] not seen so far, he will not achieve it, and at the same time the consequences [00:23:11] of this, which are disastrous consequences for the [00:23:14] peoples of the world, also obviously for the American peoples, and the United [00:23:18] States is trapped in this logic. In this logic, from which it has not [00:23:22] been able to escape, from which there is no visible direction [00:23:25] that allows it to escape. Indeed, the [00:23:29] scenario that is presented to us today is a scenario in which this will [00:23:33] simply deepen, while there [00:23:36] is this contradiction and this cycle from which the United States cannot [00:23:40] escape, we will continue to see a dispute in which oil [00:23:43] continues to rise globally and one of the horizons [00:23:47] that this can create is precisely popular discontent [00:23:51] in the face of the lack of material horizons, [00:23:54] the capacity for economic well-being, and on the contrary, [00:23:58] the great impact on the pockets of the most popular sectors, [00:24:01] which in a way in every corner of the world will become more [00:24:04] tense in the face of a blind policy, a contradictory policy, [00:24:08] and a policy that does not have a real escape route for the US [00:24:12] and that is putting the entire world in almost every [00:24:15] corner of the planet in the face of this dilemma and this [00:24:18] tension. Eduardo, finally, what we were already discussing [00:24:22] with Dux Toscano, also because the speed, [00:24:25] coordination, and depth of the Houthi [00:24:29] advance in Yemen has taken by surprise [00:24:32] and in some way dismantles that media narrative not only [00:24:36] of Saudi Arabia but of the West regarding what [00:24:39] a people like Yemen represents and the struggle it is [00:24:43] waging in West Asia. Your take. [00:24:46] Well, I believe that for me, these advances that we have seen in recent days, [00:24:50] which bear witness to something fundamental, which is [00:24:54] that US forces and their allies in [00:24:57] the region are also beginning to wear out. That is, [00:25:00] it is very difficult to think that after so many [00:25:03] months of this aggression, [00:25:08] cost it implies, the military desgaste it implies, [00:25:12] there are many reports from the Pentagon itself that have shown [00:25:15] that the United States is already much below some of the critical [00:25:19] limits of many of the military supplies [00:25:23] of certain missiles, of certain of the war tools [00:25:27] it uses. This wear and tear finally means that the United States [00:25:31] cannot maintain the same pressure and the same logistical [00:25:34] support in all corners of the West Asian region, [00:25:38] and in that sense, we will see certain movements like this [00:25:41] in which Ansarullah takes advantage of this [00:25:44] desgaste to make certain strategic advances that perhaps [00:25:48] a few months ago no one believed were possible, but today, [00:25:51] reading them very well from the territory, they know that they can [00:25:55] do it, and given the response that has come from the Arab Emirates, [00:25:59] Asarola has also been able to respond. So we are facing [00:26:02] this scenario that, despite the narrative of force, despite [00:26:06] wanting to make the public believe advancing, it is totally the [00:26:10] opposite, what we see is an asymmetric war that is increasingly wearing [00:26:13] down the military power of the United States in the region, which is something [00:26:17] positive for the sovereignty of the region, but let's not forget the danger it [00:26:21] puts us in when we are talking about countries like Israel that have [00:26:25] an atomic bomb and have clearly shown their intention not to [00:26:28] obey international law, not to care about life and [00:26:31] finally. These advances do nothing but continue to increase tension, as [00:26:35] I said before, as long as the United States continues [00:26:39] with this contradictory policy of only wanting to impose its will by force in a [00:26:42] context in which it will not win, unfortunately we will continue to see [00:26:46] a growing eh, a military conflict in the [00:26:50] region that is increasingly intense and that puts everyone at [00:27:04] situation in [00:27:08] what has been this [00:27:10] counteroffensive by Yemen, the Houthi [00:27:14] resistance that is claiming sovereign operations against the wave of [00:27:17] aggression by Saudi Arabia and there we asked him what is the [00:27:20] advance of Ansar Allah against the interests of the West in the [00:27:24] region, 54% of users say it successfully challenges the [00:27:27] blockade and the war imposed on Yemen, [00:27:31] 28%. on the other hand says: it claims the territorial [00:27:34] sovereignty of the country, these are the two options that have [00:27:38] had the highest vote, regarding [00:27:42] this question that [00:27:49] is happening in West Asia and in other parts of the world, I remind [00:27:53] you www.telesurtv.net with our real-time signal also on [00:27:57] telegram, the news service of Telesur, 24 hours a [00:28:00] day, with a perspective of the world from the... Stay with us, [00:28:23] in Costa Rica, while Central American independence was [00:28:26] celebrated, General Francisco Morazán was shot, his attempt to [00:28:29] restore the republic. The Federal [00:28:32] Bank of Central America made him a martyr of the integrationist [00:28:36] ideal, his legacy lives on as a symbol [00:28:40] of unity and justice in the region. The greatness of a [00:28:43] homeland is measured by the dignity and honor of its children. [00:28:47] September 15, 1842, [00:28:51] assassination of Francisco [00:28:52] Morazán. [00:28:59] And in expressing our recognition and our... admiration [00:29:03] to you today and in remembering the great feats and [00:29:07] the glorious victories, we also want to remember the [00:29:10] thousands and thousands of heroic Vietnamese who have given their [00:29:14] blood and have given their lives for the freedom of their homeland, their [00:29:17] effort has not been in vain, their sacrifices have not been [00:29:21] in vain, over the blood shed by them, Vietnam rises today, [00:29:25] victorious and invincible, eternal honor [00:29:28] to the heroes who gave their lives for the homeland, [00:29:32] Castro: September 15, 1973, [00:29:36] speech delivered at the meeting with members of the National Liberation Front of [00:29:40] South Vietnam, held at Hill 241, [00:29:44] South Vietnam. [00:30:37] Since Donald Trump's return to the White House, the United States has [00:30:40] turned tariffs into an instrument of political [00:30:44] pressure, into a weapon. The measures against Mexico, Canada, China [00:30:48] and Brazil have opened a new stage of trade tensions on the [00:30:51] continent. Canada responded eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, with tariffs [00:30:55] on hundreds of American products, while [00:30:58] Mexico has fallen behind.
